<h1>Configuring auto text codes</h1>
<p>Auto text codes are document or dataset variables that are automatically 
 replaced with pertinent information when the document is executed. You 
 can configure the content of any of the following auto text codes: </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Filter details</B></span>: 
 This auto text code displays the report filter and report limit. See 
<a 
 HREF="Formatting_the_filter_details_auto_code.htm">Configuring the filter 
 details auto text code</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report limit details</B></span>: 
 This auto text code displays the report limit. Report limits are minimum 
 and maximum values for a metric that you specify at the report-level. 
 They determine the rows of a data set that are displayed in the final 
 report. See 
<a href="Formatting_the_filter_details_auto_code.htm">Formatting 
 the filter details auto text code</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Prompt details</B></span>: 
 This auto text code displays the prompt information for all prompts in 
 the report. See 
<a HREF="Format_prompt_details_auto_code.htm">Configuring 
 the prompt details auto text code</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report details</B></span>: 
 This auto text code displays the report description, prompt details, filter 
 details, and template details. See 
<a HREF="Formatting_the_report_details_auto_text_code.htm">Configuring 
 the report details auto text code</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Template details</B></span>: 
 This displays the attribute details and metric details. See 
<a HREF="Format_template_details_auto_code.htm">Configuring 
 the template details auto text code</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can configure different options for different types of auto text 
 codes. For example, you can select whether to include view filter information 
 or the attribute name in a report filter details auto text code. For report 
 details, you can choose whether to include information on prompts or filters. 
 </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span><span>: </span>For instructions 
 on formatting the text field that contains the auto text code (such as 
 the font name or background color), see 
<a href="Format_text_fields.htm">Formatting 
 text fields</a>.</p>
<h2>
<a name=Levels_of_auto_text_code_configuration></a>Levels of auto text 
 code configuration</h2>
<p>You can configure:</p>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>The auto text 
 codes in a specific text field in a document, from the Properties and 
 Formatting dialog box (the text field level)</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>All the auto 
 text codes in a specific document, from the Document Properties dialog 
 box (the document level)</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>The Report 
 Details in the Report Editor, from the Report Details Properties option 
 (the report level)</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>All the auto 
 text codes in a project, using the Project Configuration Editor (the project 
 level)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The list above also shows the order of precedence. The configuration 
 of a particular text field in a document overwrites the configuration 
 at the document level, which overwrites the configuration in the related 
 dataset report, which overwrites the project configuration. For example, 
 if a property is set one way for a document and another for the report, 
 the document setting takes precedence. </p>
<h2>The Report Details Properties dialog box</h2>
<p>You configure the auto text codes in the Report Details Properties dialog 
 box, as shown in the image below. The Report Details Properties dialog 
 box is explained in more detail in each of the auto text code topics.
